You Have the Right to an Appeal

If your short-term, long-term or private disability benefits were denied
or improperly terminated by your insurance company, you may have the right
to appeal the decision. It is very important that your disability appeal
is handled properly by an experienced long term disability attorney because
you may not be allowed to introduce new medical information or documents
to support your case in court. If your disability appeal is denied, you
have a right to file a lawsuit in state or federal court.

Most long term disability cases are governed by a federal law known as
ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. ERISA gives
you certain rights as a disabled person trying to get disability benefits.
This law also provides standards for how a disability insurance company
must treat people with disability insurance appeals. Under ERISA, you
are not entitled to a trial by jury. Instead, your case is decided by
a judge based on the paper record the disability insurance company has
on your claim.
